Julius Caesar was assassinated by his own senate on March 15 44 BC; also known as the Ides of March. As he was walking in to the senate house, a man told him to beware the Ides of March. He ignored this statement and walked into the senate house. At this time some of the Senate members surrounded Caesar in a stealthy

After the assassination of Julius Caesar the Senate lost what they were trying to protect - a democratic society. The outcome of Caesar's death lead to a monarchy lead by the first emperor, Octavin, Caesar's nephew. This was easy for Octavin to obtain, because the people of Rome were looking for a new form of Government, due to the fact that the people thought the Senate was corrupt. Their love for Octavin "gave him more dictatorial power than they would have given Caesar". (The Roman Emperors, 10) With the power Octavin possessed, his ability to control Rome could prove to be prosperous or dangerous.

The assassination of Julius Caesar started a domino effect, leading to the end of the Roman Civilization. This was due to the fact that the people trusted their Emperors too much. Caligula was the third emperor of the Julio-Claudian dynasty, and he was diagnosed with "a case of both mental and physical sickness, noting that the emperor suffered from acute insomnia, was sometimes scarcely able to move his limbs or think". (The Roman Emperors. 28) Even with his illnesses, he still reigned for a four-year period. Now with the monarchy the people asked for, and received what they wanted, Caligula abused the Roman Citizens and his power.
